Clibrans’ Everlasting Flowers. 
FOR WINTER BOUQUETS. 
peculiar value of Everlasting Flowers is the permanent character of their form and colour when carefully dried. 
They should be cut as they come into bloom, before the flowers are fully developed, and hung up in small bunches in some 
dry dark place, heads downwards. Most of the grasses can be dried in the same manner.

Flower Seeds for the Wild Garden. 
By sowing an ounce or two of this mixture the garden can be made beautiful in every nook and corner ; no 
blank, dreary places may be left as formerly. For a summer and autumn display sow the seed in March, April and 
May, thinly in isolated patches, covering with a little soil, then tread or roll the ground.

Ornamental Grasses. 
Most of the following varieties may be sown in the open border during April or May, and must be thinned out as 
early as they can be handled, allowing sufficient space for the plants to develop. Nothing is more suitable for mixing 
with many kinds of cut flowers, particularly with Sweet Peas. 
1292 CLIBRANS’ GIANT MAIZE. A magnificent 
variety. Almost all varieties of maize are 
rather tender, and do not attain maturity in our 
temperate climate; but this variety thrives and 
ripens its cobs to perfection, more especially in a 
favourable season. It has an imposing appear- 
ance, and produces an abundance of large cobs-
